// Lead Mountain Recon Hike //

I took a hike out to take a look or even climb Lead Mountain this weekend. Knowing that the Never summer range is the most remote and hard to reach range in the park I tried to set out early. The hike up to Dutch camp is around 6miles through the pretty dead and empty forest. A short walk along the Grand Ditch road (Which is an incredible piece of engineering that none of us know about, diverting water away from the Colorado River and into Wyoming) I had to turn around well short of the peak do to an early afternoon storm.
